ELECTRONIC MUSIC PIONEER, EGYPTIAN LOVER, TELLS US ABOUT HIS LATEST ALBUM, HIS OLD SCHOOL APPROACH TO CREATING MUSIC, VIEWS ON MODERN EDUCATION AND WAYS OF DEVELOPING HIP-HOP, AS WELL AS MUCH MORE..
Greg Broussard, an important man and artist, with his ironic alias Egyptian Lover, has already been in the music industry for 35 years. Starting from the early days of his musical production, he invented a unique Egyptian Lovers style that he still follows. His music represents the early ‘80s hip-hop and electro sound, being pure analog electronic with danceable drum machine beats, vocoder robotic voices, party vibes and a good sense of humor.
He still keeps the balls rolling, being an actively touring artist, releasing new great albums and running a record label. Young generations and older guys with nostalgic feelings for ‘80s electronic music dance to his sets in nightclubs and festivals all over the world.
We found this remarkable artist in his LA studio focused on a new album. Greg was kind enough to tell All Andorra many interesting things about his approach to making music and videos, shared some exciting memories of his early days and his views on modern reality, and it was certainly a very interesting talk.

Hi Greg! Not so long ago you released a great album, “1985”, and a bunch of videos from the songs on it. What are your future plans for Egyptian Lover?
Right now I am in the studio working on the next album – “1986”, which will complete the series of the 3 albums that began with “1984”. I also just released a video for the song “Beyond The Galaxy” that I made with DJ Qbert and am planning to release a video for the song “International Freak” next month. And I continue touring, I really love it and it inspires me.
